Is this part of the movie almost over yet?
the Obama ones are just as disturbing.
Here's Joe Klein on today's latest act in a long, drawn-out drama:
...really, what are we doing here? The Puerto Rico "primary" is a crypto-democatic act: We are selecting delegates who will be able to vote at the Democratic Convention even though they won't be able to vote in the general. At last, a political event even more ridiculous the Iowa Republican straw poll--at least, Iowans can vote in November.And yet, there's Terry McAuliffe bloviating on CNN about how this adds to Clinton's popular vote "victory"--a victory only if you count states that violated party rules (Florida), didn't have Obama's name on the ballot (Michigan) or aren't even states (Puerto Rico).
This sort of thing is just plain annoying, and divisive. The impotent ferocity of the Clinton campaign over the past month has done neither herself or Barack Obama much good. I suspect the Clinton campaign will be over in a matter of days....and then, I believe, the onus will be on Clinton to initiate the reconciliation process.
